I'm just trying to gauge whether this thing is being advertised at all? Basically a huge local outdoor music festival on the northside next month. I only know about it cause i know someone playing....I feel like they're just relying on the bands to spread word of mouth....and in that case they're all just telling the same people.

I wish we could get some variety spare a couple new songs on the upcoming Sabbath tour (which I'll be roadtrippin to Detroit for) but unfortunately because Ozzy's voice is no longer what it once was, he can't pull off over half the great songs they recorded in the 70s. Regardless, as many times as I've seen them, I'll happily watch/listen to them perform the likes of Paranoid, Into the Void, Snowblind, etc for the 5th time and love every second of it.

Since Saves the Day was brought up here, they've come up again twice in very different arenas of my life. So I subsequently redownloaded Through Being Cool and Stay What You Are. Rocks Tonic Juice Magic is one of the best pop punk sounding songs ever.

So if anybody is dahtahn tonight...come meet my dumbass at the smiling moose. Ill be the man sweating his ass off playing avenged sevenfold/hard rock covers behind the kit. Not having a wife or life for almost 2 years really helps the chops. Donna a will also be in there. Come say hi...ill sweat on you and buy you a brew.

Almost considered coming down but have a race in the morning. The last time I drove to one with a hangover (which was also an almost 3 hr drive btw), it was bad times.

I like the new Sigur Rós record a lot. There is something that is simultaneously very foreign but also very familiar about this record. I think it is probably their most "rock" album in so much as any Sigur Rós album can be truely "rock". It leaves me wanting longer songs and more of them. I was afraid the keyboardist leaving would negatively impact this record but it hasn't really hurt them. I wasn't too impressed with Valtari (their last record).

Shoulda came down...good times and tunes were had for all.

You most definitely must have some pretty solid chops to be playing some Avenged Sevenfold. I never had the legs for metal drumming -- just couldn't get the double-bass consistency going. Probably why I naturally gravitated to more jazz/funk stuff
